Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Health Services (7 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I do not know which genius thought this one up but this is the last thing that anyone who knows anything about the drugs task forces, the national drugs strategy and community involvement in drugs services would dream up. Communities have been central to the partnership and the framework of trying to tackle the problem within them. They are the experts in many ways. It is a pity that...

Dublin Fire Brigade: Motion [Private Members] (7 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Eighty years ago in May 1941, Dublin Fire Brigade crews were hailed as heroes across the nation for their quick response in rushing headlong to Belfast to help their colleagues and the citizens there to tackle the fires and destruction from a night-long Luftwaffe bombardment of the city. That is just one moment which their successors, today's firefighters, look back on with pride. There are...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Comharthaí Bóthair (7 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: 179. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport cur síos a dhéanamh ar an scéim phíolótach do shíneacha tráchta curtha ar bun cúpla bliain ó shin ag an Roinn maidir le feiceálacht na Gaeilge a chur chun cinn, mar a thagair an tAire Stáit Gaeltachta dó le linn na díospóireachta ar Bhille na dTeangacha...

Written Answers — Department of Health: Covid-19 Tests (7 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: 461. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a number of temporary HSE Covid-19 test centres do not have and cannot have an Eircode; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact that the HSE has licensed an alternative location code (details supplied) and this has been successfully implemented in the National Ambulance Service's IT system in view...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I only get to use what little French I have when I am abroad. Perhaps that is the same problem some people have with Irish. I do not get to practise Latin at all, whatever Latin remains with me having spent four years learning it in secondary school. I was more interested in the history of Rome than in Latin.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I tried but I did not learn it. I was in the classroom for the subject for four years. The same was the case with French. I have a view of languages, which often people have of the Irish language. Some of it was my own fault and some of it was due to the way it was taught. It is strange everybody else in my class managed to learn French but I did not. That may say more about me than...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: May I ask a follow-up question?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: When will the decision in respect of oral examinations be made and communicated with students? Obviously, the decision in respect of mock examinations is one for each school to make. The mock examinations have to mimic the final examinations, so if in situexaminations are expected to take place in June, an early decision in that regard would help schools in the context of in situ mock...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I apologise for stepping out before speakers had finished. Mr. Ahern made the point about continual assessment during fifth year in the form of Christmas and summer exams. I am one of those people who believes continual assessment should be used a lot more. As I said to the officials easier, 40 years ago when I did my leaving certificate, we were talking about how the Germans were well...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: How important does Mr. Ahern think the continual assessment is in terms of our future education system?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: What Ms Sheridan O'Callaghan just said is very succinct in some ways. Talking to a stranger is an artificial situation. If the oral exam was held with five or six people, together with an examiner, and with a conversation that is bouncing back and forth, it might be easier to make people more comfortable and more aware. On a further point, when a student goes to college, nowadays there is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: With respect to Mr. Sharpe's comments, it is strange how things can come around. I did my leaving certificate 40 years ago and at that stage there were technical colleges and what he describes is specifically what they were aimed at. They ensured that trades would involve the required skills. It was where people with an interest in woodwork and metalwork or trades went and where people...

Health and Criminal Justice (Covid-19) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Second Stage (3 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá sé tábhachtach go bhfuil an deis againn labhairt ar an mBille seo. Níl a fhios agam cén fáth go bhfuilimid ag glacadh roinnt den Bhille ag an staid seo mar níl deifir ag baint leis. D’fhéadfadh muid déileáil leis san athbhliain nuair a bheidh an Dáil ar ais agus nuair nach mbeadh an brú céanna orainn mar ní...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: You cannot turn to something that was not here.

Health and Criminal Justice (Covid-19) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Second Stage (3 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Go raibh maith agat, a Theachta.

Health and Criminal Justice (Covid-19) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Second Stage (3 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Go raibh maith agat, a Theachta. Nice haircut. I call Deputy Duncan Smith.

Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Second Stage (3 Dec 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: We are back here again trying to address this issue, which is a pity. If the Government had listened not just to what we were saying but what the market was saying, it would not be bringing in this legislation, at this stage, to cap rent increases at 2%. If the Minister had listened to what we said, he would be aware of what the increases in the past were doing and that no increases should...
